Conclusion

Food waste management through circular bioeconomy approach creates an oppor-

tunity to promote bio-based industries to produce bioproducts/biochemicals and

utilizes resources in a more effective way. The integrated biorefinery approach still

need process optimization, efficient recovery/separation of the products, and scaling

up for the utilization of large volume of foods waste. Suitable technical, economical,

and scientific plan in multidisciplinary approach can help to develop a sustainable

food waste management through biorefinery concept in order to address the objec-

tives of circular bioeconomy and bridge the gap between waste remediation and

product recovery.
